Savory meets sweet: Caramelized Onion and Pear Pasta

Creative Caramelized Onion and Pear Pasta

Today, I’m excited to share a unique pasta recipe that combines the savory flavor of caramelized onions with the sweet juiciness of pears. This dish is perfect for a cozy fall evening or a special dinner with loved ones.

Ingredients:

• linguine (200g)
• onion (1 large, thinly sliced)
• pear (1 ripe, thinly sliced)
• balsamic vinegar (2 tbsp)
• brown sugar (1 tbsp)
• butter (2 tbsp)
• garlic (2 cloves, minced)
• fresh thyme leaves (1 tbsp)
• parmesan cheese (for topping)

Kitchen Tools:

• knife
• cutting board
• large skillet
• wooden spoon

To start, cook the linguine according to the package instructions. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and pears, stirring occasionally until caramelized, about 15 minutes. Sprinkle in the brown sugar and balsamic vinegar, and continue to cook for another 5 minutes.

Once the onions and pears are caramelized, add the minced garlic and thyme leaves to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Toss in the cooked linguine and stir until well combined.

Serve the pasta hot, topped with fresh grated parmesan cheese for an extra burst of flavor.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 700g, with 4 servings. Each serving weighs around 175g, and contains approximately 350 calories.

One clever tip for this dish is to sprinkle a pinch of red pepper flakes over the pasta for a subtle kick of heat that complements the sweetness of the caramelized onions and pears.

I hope you enjoy this unique twist on pasta and feel inspired to get creative in the kitchen. Remember, the best recipes are the ones you make your own!
